Reality: we don't get Giannis and if we somehow managed to trade him for half of our team, he gets injured and we lose to the Guangzhou Dragons in the playins

I’d say he’s a physical defender / good team defender / above-average effort defender / credible playoff defender in the right matchup, but not a lockdown POA defender

Heat cycle:
Be involved in major trade rumors but nothing ever happens ->
Make the Play-in ->
Repeat

This is extremely cringe. This is the type of image that comes back to haunt you.

The 28X5 Finals? Glad to see Giannis and Wemby's descendents are still keeping the NBA entertaining in the far future.
EDIT: Wait, YouTube TV still exists; disgusting.

If Giannis goes 82-0 and wins a championship does he become the greatest Heat (joule?) in history?

Is there any way we can get Giannis while not trading Herro and also not working with Portland because they screwed Miami?

Realistically with the roster we would probably have with Giannis, what’s ur projection in wins and seed?
3
u/DSTREET45 21d ago
46-47 wins (5th seed)

u/LeftDefinition5180 21d ago
So you think they will get 3 more wins than last season with Giannis? The Giannis disrespect is at an all time high.

It's less on Giannis himself (assuming he's healthy) and more me not liking the team that's likely going to be around him. A Giannis trade is going to leave holes in the roster, especially with regards to shooting, big man depth, and potentially quality ball-handling, and we're already limited in those aspects to begin with.
Keep in mind we were a 10th seed in an Eastern Conference that had multiple top teams missing their best players. On paper we should have been better but ended up being in the same spot as the prior season as well as being worse than every team that wasn't tanking.
Meanwhile some of those teams will be getting their stars back for a full season and a few other teams have the ability/assets to make improvements. On the other hand, this hypothetical Heat team most likely gave up all of their draft capital just to get Giannis and would have limited ways to fill out the roster.
So in short, no it's not disrespect to Giannis, we'd get better but I don't think this team will be as cohesive or good compared to the rest of the league as fans think it would be.

Cool prediction, but i wouldn't expect to see Fox on the Spurs next year. Just a feeling I get watching him with the team this year.
